Hi all,
First time poster here looking for advice as to how we can increase the water pressure in our home, or at least in some parts of it.
The water pressure in our area is very low, although meets relevant requirements, so we end up with issues if someone runs a sink downstairs and someone is in the shower...etc. In the near future we are looking to install an en suite upstairs and have the bathroom re-done, but naturally do not want all that spend without resolving this in some way.
The house set up is currently 1 bathroom with an electric shower, sink and toliet. The proposed works would increase this to then include an ensuite with a shower, sink and toliet too.
The showers would either be electric or mixers (both would be the same), although I suspect the electric shower approach will be easier to manage as have seen various examples where rather than the cold water pipe directly going into the shower, it feeds a small water tank in the roof initially which provides a "buffer" against a drop in pressure around the rest of the house if someone runs a tap elsewhere.
Does anyone have any advice or solutions - or can point me in the direction to get some sensible advice.
I should say the house is serviced by a combi boiler which we won't be changing
Thanks
